Vantiq today announced a strategic alliance with Manila-based Argosy Partners to make the Philippines the launchpad for Southeast Asia’s next wave of AI-driven transformation in healthcare, public safety and smart city projects. The partnership will allow organizations to move from concept to live operations in weeks instead of years and gives Vantiq an immediate foothold in a high-growth region.

The agreement was sealed at the Vantiq AI Summit, held July 8-9, at the Edsa Shangri-La in Manila, where leaders in public safety, defense, healthcare and smart infrastructure witnessed live demonstrations of systems that sense, decide and take action in seconds—from hospital-triage workflows to citywide camera networks. The showcase underscored the region’s demand for platforms that turn streaming data into decisive action without adding complexity or duplicating head count.

Across Southeast Asia, agencies and enterprises face an urgent mandate to keep citizens safe, strengthen healthcare delivery, protect national interests and run cities more efficiently. By uniting Argosy’s local insight with Vantiq’s real-time intelligence platform, the alliance offers a dependable foundation for organizations that need to sense events, interpret them with AI and take action in real time without overhauling existing infrastructure.

Stakeholders interested in exploring AI for public safety, healthcare, defense or smart-city initiatives can connect with Vantiq and Argosy to discuss pilot options, technical requirements and frameworks that ensure secure, responsible deployment.

Vantiq and Argosy will now engage agencies, hospitals, city planners and other stakeholders to identify high-impact pilot projects, share best practices for secure deployment and map investment pathways; organizations interested in applying real-time AI to critical operations can reach the partners at https://www.argosyinvestments.com/contact/.

Vantiq today announced a strategic partnership with Radenta Technologies Inc., the leading IT solutions integrators in the Philippines. This groundbreaking collaboration will anchor Vantiq in Southeast Asia by accelerating the rollout of event-driven applications that automate GenAI for orchestrating workflows within healthcare, government, emergency response and enterprise organizations nationwide.

Radenta’s nationwide footprint and long-standing public-sector relationships make it a powerful force multiplier for Vantiq. Together, the companies will let Philippine institutions sense, decide and take action within milliseconds, whether workloads run in the cloud, at the edge or in disconnected field locations.

Radenta delivers large-scale projects in government, education, healthcare and enterprise markets and maintains a deep partner ecosystem committed to client success.

The announcement follows a joint seminar for the Philippine Department of Finance and the two-day Vantiq AI Summit held 8-9 July 2025 in Manila, where leaders saw how Vantiq fuses AI, IoT and human workflows into systems that see, think and respond in less than a second. Early collaboration will focus on public finance, emergency response, smart infrastructure and healthcare, supporting the country’s goals for digital resilience and inclusive growth.

Vantiq, a U.S.-based platform for building and operating agentic AI systems in real time, just announced two major developments in Korea.

First, the company announced a strategic partnership with Etevers, a fast-growing tech firm backed by Samsung, LG, and the Korean government. The deal positions Vantiq as the go-to platform for intelligent systems in the country’s healthcare and public sectors.

Second, a new agreement with Jeonju University and Etevers to co-develop and pilot AI-driven public safety solutions, with Vantiq’s help, across South Korea’s Jeollabuk-do region—bringing real-time AI into emergency alerts, health monitoring, and disaster response systems.

Together, these announcements show how Korea is leapfrogging legacy tech to adopt agentic AI—intelligent systems that don’t just analyze data, but act on it in the moment—and how a US company is helping them do that.  These developments also underscore a growing trend of integrating real-time AI into public sector services.

Vantiq announced today a new collaboration with Obayashi Corporation to deliver real-time experiences at the Panasonic Group Pavilion “The Land of NOMO” during the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo. The global Expo is expected to draw over 28 million visitors from around the world, making it one of the most ambitious showcases of innovation, culture and future-shaping ideas this decade. 

Powering this unprecedented experience will require more than infrastructure—it demands intelligence in real-time. That’s why Obayashi Corporation has integrated the Vantiq Intelligent Platform into WELCS place®—a smart building system engineered to instantly sense, analyze and respond to conditions like crowd movement, weather and on-site operations. This dynamic platform will serve as the real-time nervous system for the Panasonic Group Pavilion “The Land of NOMO,” and is set to play a critical role across the Expo, making Vantiq the engine behind one of the most intelligent environments ever built.

Originally designed to enhance comfort and safety across a wide range of facilities—including office buildings, shopping centers, hospitals, hotels and factories—WELCS place® uses intelligent data integration to support smarter environments. For the Expo pavilion, Obayashi selected Vantiq to enable instantaneous processing of real-time data, allowing the space to autonomously adapt to weather fluctuations and crowd dynamics.

Vantiq continues to evolve the Vantiq Intelligent Platform by integrating generative AI, including connections to large language models (LLMs) and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) frameworks. These capabilities are enabling systems to draw on intuition and human experience—factors that were previously difficult to translate into code—to make smarter, context-aware decisions in real time.

By combining WELCS place®’s proven services and operational knowledge with Vantiq’s real-time processing power and AI-driven adaptability, both companies aim to create intelligent environments that deliver optimal solutions the moment they’re needed.
